Very pleased with the results. My recommendation for anyone considering the procedure is to get to your goal weight first.... Then consider laser lipo. If I were to do anything differently I would have lost more weight first. I lost around 7 inches off of my waist and they removed close to 200 cc's of melted fat.

Had Smart-lipo yesterday- all went well. I had 5 areas: inner and outer thighs, lower and upper belly, love handles. Last night I felt like I had been stabbed 100 times...Excrutiating pain- I have been taking the meds every 4 hours....Thank God I have a week off! Lunch lipo??? I don't think so.


I have not had much drainage but I have not looked under the garment yet... How much longer should I expect to be in pain?

Day 3: still sore although not as bad but I am running a fever... and have a real migraine. Slept a lot today and kept on taking the meds... I cannot wait for the pain to subside. I had very little drainage and minimum bruising: just bad on the thighs. Am drinking vitamin water and ordered the Arnica pills... My belly is gone but swelling is definitely there... Not sure it was worth it yet... I have to be patient!

Day 4: I am slowly coming back to life- I have been able to get up longer and not feel so horrible.. Still not venturing to drive though... Thighs are bruised but not the stomach

Day 5 and 6: I was able to go out yesterday and be just about normal with some slight pain. I am still bruised on my inner thighs but it is bearable. Last night the garment was very tight and I had to unzip for a while to breathe...On the way to heal...I am not even talking results yet because of the swelling.

Still improving but the garment is horrible: As soon as I eat I feel like I am really to blow up!

10 days post op and I am still a little sore and swollen- Bruising has almost completely disappeared but I look thinner... Time will tell... Still not back working out to give my body a chance to heal...

ive been teased about my boobs since elementary school (weird huh?) so ive always been self concious about my boobs. im about a 36A n can probably still fit into a training bra. hahaha. i breast fed but i dnt feel my boobs sagging too bad. i loved how they looked wen they were full of milk and sometimes wouldnt pump lol my kid is 18mnths n i think its time to get the surgery ive always dreamed of. i feel that once i get this my body will finally look proportionate. im 5'4 about 135lbs. im looking for a big C, small D. my doctor told me 350cc or 400cc max is best. saline under the muscle. i wanted the aerolar incision but i decided to go with under the breast cause it doesnt affect the inside of my boob functioning. im soooo excited for this upcoming thursday. my surgery will be first up of the day. have to be there by 6:45am. im scared but excited.

Im so excited. Just 3more days.Im getting a bit paranoid tho. Ive been lookin at so many pictures about how some boobs look so lopsided or rippling. now my extreme fear is rippling. im 21 wont be 22 until november so i cant get silicone unless i wait. i specifically want memory gel silicone tho if i could get it but its soooo expensive n im scared of the regukar silicone so ill stick wit my saline but im just scared of the rippling tho cz i feel that i dont have enough breast tissue to get the size that I want. Ive seen people tho that are my size or smaller n get lik 475cc of SALINE n dey look good. idk wat to think. i guess ill just hav to wait n see wat my PS decides on Thursday. ugh! so nervous n paranoid

so today i finally got my BA and it was great. I got to the office at 6:50am as a nervous wreck but the staff made me feel so comfortable. I hav had many bad experiences of nurses putting IV's in and could never get it on the first try but my CRNA did great. I didnt feel a thing. She numbed the area first for minimal pain n it wrked :) It all happened oh so quickly. the CRNA said here comes the margarita. Ive heard stories that it's painful but it wasnt at all. I was out in about 10minutes. Next thing I know i hear a faint voice saying ur surgery is over. i woke up a lil while later on a nice comfy recliner n warm blanket. my vision was blurrd for a while n i felt the heaviness on my chest. I had very little pain. They told me surgery started at 8am and ended 9:05am. I had waken up 30minutes later. What I like about the place is that the company they receive their implants have A warranty on the implants so if they rupture before their 10yrs they get replaced. DOUBLE YAY!!!!! they ended up placing 360cc on my right and 415cc saline submuscular on my left since my left is smaller. my boobs feel so stretched out, i feel lik im goin to pop. they look HUGE but in a good way. cant wait for them to settle

I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT THE BEST PART IS IM NOT EXPERIENCING ANY MAJOR PAIN!!!!! WILL POST PICS SOON

so today is Day 1 of post op. I woke up with a sharp pain on my right boob (my mistake with the previous update. My right boob was the smaller one. cant tell from my left and right lol) I believed because it was the smaller one that was stretched out more because my left boob feels fine. I just took pain medicines and I felt better. I am a little sleepy but I feel just the same as the end of yesterday. My arms are almost completely useless tho. I posted up My day 1 post op pic. It may not loo very big from the front side, but the side view u can really tell. I couldnt take a side view pic because my arms hurt. Ill post more detailed pics wen I get the strength.

I feel pretty good. My left side barely hurts n my right is a little numb. I feel lik im progressing pretty good. i don't feel that useless just really tired. Cant wait til they drop

So ive been wearing a bra now. I am currently a 36C. I still think i could of gone bigger but im ok wit wat i have right now. Im basically back to normal but my right side is still extremely sensitive.

Updated on 17 May 2012:
So im a little mad dat their not as big as i thought they would be. I mean ive seen girls in C cups n dey look fine but me in a C cup doesn't look as big. My PS told me its because I have a broad chest. IDK how this whole thing works because ive seen people with less CCs than me and they look lik their boobs r bigger then mines. He said he put as much as he could without it being to high up. He said giv it time and wait for them to settle down to make a real judgement. That all this is just a process... Ill just have to wait n c...

so im amazed. i went to VS to get fitted n im a 36D or 34DD. wtf?? no way. my boobs dont look that big.... i want them bigger but i dont think im an actual "D" i mean i do fit in it perfectly and snug but it doesnt look full.. lik i dont see my crease in them which big boobs should look...ill post sum pics to get opinions

Updated on 9 Aug 2012:
so with a good push up bra (add 2 cups) i feel lik those r the size i want. i might end up getting it to match the way it looks in the pushup :) at least its a big improvement. ive been puttin non stop lotion to rid of any stretch marks since it seemed to want to pop up. in a few mnths ill go for round 2 n this time memory gel silicone :) yay

This was the most wonderful experience of my life. I originally thought that it would be much worse than it turned out to be. I have had 2 c-sections previously and in my opinion they were more painful.

I had my surgery on a Friday and by Tuesday I was back on my feet and feeling well. Only took pain meds for a couple days. Sleep wasnt too bad, I just had to use alot of pillows to get comfortable.

My surgeon was wonderful. Overall this has been the best experience of my life. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at all.

01/13/12 - today is 2 weeks post op and i am thrilled with my recovery so far. Minimal pain, minor discomfort mostly in the evenings for the first week-week and a half. As of right now I am so happy! New pics are up.

Love the look, Hate Saline! They are hard, they do not feel real. Wish I would have went w/ silicone. I did this to boost my self-esteem after having 3 kids I sagged really bad.

I have a rippling of the left breast and also some mild pain though I dont think that there is a difference in size. I just had this done in May 2007.

Do NOT go to him! This guy gave me HUGE implants that I didn't ask for and caused me to have symmastia. It cost me TWICE the cost of a BA to repair it and he wouldn't pay one dime for the repair! I will need a lift sooner rather than later also. It was not worth it to go to him and I wish I had chose someone else.

The PIP had a more natural feel to them.
